What One Question Would You Ask Republicans Tonight? Here's Mine.....
Why do Democrats bring growth, and Republicans recessions?
Here’s my question:
Since 1989 and the end of Communism and the Cold War, 49 million jobs have been created in America over 18.5 years of Democratic Presidencies and 16 years of Republican Presidencies. 47 million of those, 96%, have been created under Democratic Presidents. Basically all of them.
Can you explain why Republican economic policies keep failing? Why your last 3 Presidents, in this new age of globalization, have brought recessions, two of the most severe in modern history, and higher deficits? And why do Democratic policies keep succeeding, repeatedly bringing growth, higher wages, and lower deficits?
Isn’t true that there is only one party that has been good at this capitalism thing over the last 35 years, and that party is the Democratic Party?
That’s my question for Republicans for tonight, and for the next 15 months. What’s your question?

Here is my question, originally posted by Mike Magee in his Health Commentary blog:
“How do laws affect each of us, and what functions do laws serve in our society?"
According to the No. Carolina K-12 curriculum the answers should be:
1. Laws serve as standards of conduct
2. Laws maintain order, ensure predictability, and provide security\
3. Many laws in America grant and protect particular individual rights and freedoms, ensure equality, and advocate for the common good
4. Laws guarantee certain benefits to citizens (schools, health services, etc.)
5. Laws assign responsibilities to citizens (paying taxes)
6. Laws define what duties the government will perform and limit the power of gov't officials
7. Laws facilitate different forms of change (toxic waste disposal, anti discrimination, prohibition of intimate partner violence)
8. Laws are used to manage different forms of conflict, relying on courts, judges, and lawyers for such
9. Ideally, laws should be well designed to ensure justice,; designed so that the average citizen can interpret, understand, and thus follow them"
Mine would be what are your plans to preserve Social Security and Medicare for future generations.
